Age of Empires II, the best video game of all time, is coming to Steam in April with refreshed HD graphics

Hush, and stop whatever you are doing, this is more important: Age of Empires II is coming back, this time to Steam, with a refreshed graphics engine and improved multiplayer. Sorry Starcraft 2, peace out League of Legends, the monster is back.

Age of Empires II, released first 14 years ago in 1999, was a stunning game for its time. In the intervening years, it never fully faded from sight, with active modding and player communities persisting to this day.

With a graphics update, and a multiplayer experience that will lean on Steam to help arrange games, the title is all but prepped for a massive comeback. You can snag it as a pre-order on Steam at a 10% discount. I’ll see you online starting April 9th.
